Chana Saag (Chickpeas and Spinach in Spicy Tomato Sauce)

Chana saag is an Indian dish made up of chickpeas and spinach. As you probably know by now, I absolutely love chickpeas so this was right up my alley. This recipe is based on a dish at one of my favorite restaurants. They serve their chana saag with a spicy tomato sauce and include some potatoes, so that’s what I decided to do with mine.

I’m really happy I figured out how to make this dish at home so I can have it that much more often. It’s also great that this recipe comes together pretty quick and makes a nice weekday or weekend dinner on it’s own (however, I never turn down the chance to have some naan with Indian dishes). This recipe makes enough for 5-6 servings but it also makes excellent leftovers if you don’t have that may mouths to feed.
